New Rivals 100 released
https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/rankings/rank-3512/20…
Not very kind to us. Bredeson in at #60 is our only commit listed. No Walker.

No peters either.

Forgot about him, heard that Walker would drop, I guess Peters struggled at the Army All_American game some, but jeesh.
January 18th, 2016 at 1:45 PM ^
Peters was never in the Rivals-100.

From what I read, it seems like he struggled in practice a couple days too.
This is where the rankings get weird and you see that the services are really grasping at things, because they really don't have a ton to evaluate most of these kids on. High School film doesn't say enough because of the low level of competition.
I read that Kareem Walker was due for a drop because he wasn't as electric and elusive as thought after his perforamce during the UA week.
I think character and passion for football are more important than ever, and measurables are second.

Duh, Rivals is the worst at recruiting evaluation by a long shot.

Simple math:
Recruiting services are ranked by the number of Michigan players within the top 100 of their site rankings. The more Michigan players a recruiting service has within that top 100, the higher the quality of the service.
Doing a deep dive into the statistics, here are the rankings for this year (recruiting site followed by score. List goes top (best) to bottom (worst)
ESPN 4
247 4
Scout 3
Rivals 1
Obviously, Rivals knows dick about recruiting. Trust everything ESPN AND 247 have to say.

No offense, but I'm not going to bother looking them up. However, there have been analyses done about the best recruiting sites with respect to the NFL Draft. Historically, Rivals is the best. I believe Scout was better by a slight margin in last year's draft. ESPN has been third, for the most part. 247 Sports is too "young" to factor in much, at least just yet.

These Michigan nerds with all their "book learnin'" dun bein real mean to ya...
January 18th, 2016 at 2:22 PM ^
Irregardless, the English language was literally moving towards this new way of speaking anyways.
January 18th, 2016 at 5:36 PM ^
January 18th, 2016 at 5:45 PM ^
Anyways is a perfectly cromulent word.
January 18th, 2016 at 5:54 PM ^
What do you think about his use of "literally" and "anyways?"
January 18th, 2016 at 3:52 PM ^
First day here and you're already at -50. That's a strong start.

I see your point, but I mean... practice makes perfect and the slow degeneration of humans, etc. ???

Grammar and spelling are a cornerstone to superiority. We must maintain the Michigan difference. My wife once asked if they taught arrogance at Michigan. I said it was a pre-requisite.
January 18th, 2016 at 4:30 PM ^
Even I find this funny

What if someone like that was in charge of writing flight manuals?
January 18th, 2016 at 3:03 PM ^
Don't they just type in the destination, push a few buttons, flip a switch, and start jerking off?

So if you're using your thumbs for the i/u keys, can we assume you're on a smartphone?
And if so, then why doesn't your smartphone autocorrect to "I" and "English"?
Just curious.
